Have a most blessed Sunday, Dear Friends! I was up at the crack of dawn working on some stuff. I was tired, but it was nice to be able see the day gradually got brighter and brighter…
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, Praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word
Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness, where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s recreation of the new day
by Eleanor Farjeon (1931)

This is one of my favorite songs! Nice to open up at 7:02 am!
I, too, am up as dawn breaks over the mountains. God is good.
I did not know that Cat Stevens song was actually a hymn! Beautiful expression of the dawn of the day. Hope you have a good one!
I love those quiet times in the morning!

You, my Friend, are FULL of the presence of the Lord. You are an inspiration to everyone.
Even although you work hard, it is GOD who gives you the increase and success. It is NO WONDER that you are so blessed……and passing ALL of that on to Ms. Gwen. PTL on this wonderful day.
I had the words and the melody in my thoughts the moment that I read the title of your post. Beautiful way to start the day!
I love Roger Whittaker’s version of this song. Thanks for reminding me.
We are so fortunate for each day God gives us.
Loved reading the words of this beautiful hymn this morning. Thank you for posting it – a little blessing to my life today.
Beautiful. I wonder if you might be hitting the sack early tonight!
I’ve always loved that song. Hope you’re having a great day.
What a beautiful verse to begin the day……..any day.
I sang that in church during an Easter service one year as a teen. That song always gives me a feeling of peacefulness. Thanks for a wonderful memory!
